      Maybe, since its your bike, you will be in a better position to judge. though in the pic, your front tyre looks to be round. Just saying as my tyres has run 15k, the surface for both tyres are still round. I have noticed many Pulsars having flatter surface very much like yours. But it doesn't matter. what matter is, is it round or flat compare to your front? This may not necessarily be the issue but just curious.

        The edges of the rear tyre are clean and shiny. This could be giving an illusion of the dirty part being flat. A pic of the rear tyre from an angle like the 2nd pic of the front will help judge the curvature better.

        My tyre too looks the same, although its a Zapper. This shiny edge seems to be a problem while leaning, causing the rear to slip. I'm thinking of getting the edges roughened and look for improvement.

            Thats what im looking for, too.

            Maybe pumice stone? Is cheap and easily available. Its used to rub the bottom of your feet, cracked heels, etc... for exfoliation.

            I'll try it out and let you know. But if anyone has better ideas, please do post.

              your tyres seem to have absorbed a lot of dust and there surface has become real hard so lesser grip..burnout is the quickest way to shine up the surface..also for edges go for fine sandpaper rubbing..
              happy leaning
